i love comparing pokédex entries for the same mon between different games bc almost all of them will be very brief, matter-of-fact, purely scientific without any first person pronouns or personal information about the author. and then you get to the legends arceus entries and laventon’s writing stuff like ‘ngl i still don’t understand this species’ ‘i tried petting this pokémon once and it bit me’ ‘i live in fear of this thing’ ‘man i miss galar. who said that’

I love To Be Hero X's first arcs. Impersonating a dead guy and you become him. Impersonating an alive guy and you become him. And then it's the messy work of clawing your way out of these bodies, these identities you've stolen. I am enjoying every minute of the horrors, guys. Who are you? Are you real? Are you sure?

Santo Domingo de la Calzada, 1532.

Don't Sleep with the Dead by Nghi Vo

Nick Carraway has built a quiet life in 1930s New York. He's good at watching high society and pretending: pretending to be straight, to be human, to have forgotten the summer of 1922. But when a familiar face appears one dark night, he realizes Gatsby, dead or not, isn’t finished with him. In all paper there is memory, and Nick's ghost has come home.

Brighter than Scale, Swifter than Flame by Neon Yang

With an armored, oath-bound hero reminiscent of The Mandalorian and the Asian-inspired epic fantasy of She Who Became the Sun, Neon Yang’s Brighter than Scale, Swifter than Flame is a stunning queer novella about a dragon hunter finding home with a dragon queen.

Infinity Alchemist by Kacen Callender

Only an elite few are legally permitted to study the science of magic—so when Ash is rejected by Lancaster College of Alchemic Science, he is forced to learn alchemy in secret.

The River Has Roots by Amal El-Mohtar

In the small town of Thistleford, the Hawthorn family tends enchanted willows and honours an ancient compact to sing to them in thanks for their magic. Sisters Esther and Ysabel are devoted to the trees, and even more to each other. But when Esther rejects a forceful suitor for a lover from Faerie, the bond between them—and their lives—are put at risk.

Memories of that night torment Alice, but when asked to return to the House, she knows she must go.

[stormboundstars]

there's a heavy sadness surrounding the end of the two E-souls' battle, because i think that's the last time we see Yang Cheng's face. and it's hard to say if it's Yang Cheng who actually emerged victorious in that fight. Yang Cheng, where are you? He's retreated fully behind the mask. His face and the E-soul mask, it's one and the same now. Who's up there in the Hero Tower, regarding the world from a great height? No longer the down-to-earth boy. Yang Cheng, where are you???
